Do you know that from colonial times to the late 1970s, Singapore’s postmen wore khaki-coloured cotton uniforms that were ironed with starch to stiffen them up? Pretty cool, huh? Well, our postmen’s uniform has since evolved over the years to maintain a fresh, contemporary and practical look.

SingPost issued 1,000 sets of a SG50 Hello Kitty Limited Edition Bundle Set, consisting of the 5 Plush Collectibles, the SG50 Hello Kitty MyStamp folder and lanyard set, and a certificate of authenticity at a special price of SGD 108 on 23 February, 10am. Amazingly, all sets were snapped up online by noon!

However, these SingPost’s SG50 Hello Kitty Plush Collectible Set (SGD 88) are still available. In conjunction with Singapore’s 50th year of independence, SingPost collaborated with Sanrio to release exclusive SG50 Hello Kitty Plush Collectible and MyStamp Folder Sets. To reflect Singapore’s distinctiveness and colourful cultures, Hello Kitty is dressed in five specially designed outfits and Vanda Miss Joaquim ribbons.

The SG50 Hello Kitty Plush Collectible Set includes:Hello Kitty in Cheongsam: The cheongsam is a traditional one-piece Chinese dress for women. Created in the 1920s in Shanghai, cheongsam was made fashionable by socialites and upper-class women. Today, it is popularly worn during the Chinese New Year period and formal occasions.

Hello Kitty in Baju Kurung: The baju kurung is a traditional Malay costume for women. A knee-length blouse wore over a long skirt, baju kurung is simple, graceful and comfortable to wear at all times, including special occasions such as weddings, engagements and public functions.

Hello Kitty in Saree: Originating from India, the saree is a female garment consisting of a drape varying from 5-9 yards in length and 0.67-1.33 yards in breadth. It is typically wrapped around the waist, with one end draped over the shoulder, baring the midriff.

So pretty! I wouldn't even mind if someone uses the stamps to mail some thing to me, i'll probably remove the stamp and keep safe it. But I guess nobody will do that huh, just like the last collectibles my stamp that you feature in your blog - or was it in circulation?

this is so perfect! I love Hello Kitty and even my nephew likes it...usually it is girls that are fascinated by it but I guess my nephew is an exception...though lately he has been in the 'lego phase'.

No, can't say that I have hehehe! I love seeing things like this though, what's making the rounds in other places all over the globe. It's funny because I'd never think that Hello Kitty would have stamps and such but if you really think about it, of course she would! And I'm sure this isn't the first time either lol!
